Carroll, thanks, but I just read a lot. I was an embryo when most of this stuff was happening, unfortunately.
Tim, I hit Chicago the afternoon of that GT40 Reunion and decided with the blessing of my wonderful wife to make a banzai run to Elkhart. We made it to the track about halfway through the race. By the time we got parked, etc., it was essentially over, but it was still neat to walk through the paddock and check out the history. I am hoping to make it to Monterey this August for the same reason; should be an eyeful of historic Cobras and '40s there with Ford the featured marque.
The John Allen GT40 book has many, many pictures from that '96 Road America weekend, by the way. It is available from Amazon, etc., I believe, and should be reasonably priced as it is a softcover book--
Regards,
Bob
